INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FEATURES

We have over five years experience showcasing firework displays, firework retailers, events and a lot more - and if you're a firework company or have any firework related material you want to publish, we can help! What better home for a feature on your company or displays than here, the UK's biggest fireworks website?

Whether you'd like us to come along to see you, or you have your own pictures or video you'd like to send us, this section will tell you more about the options open to you.

FEATURES USING TRADE OR MEMBER SUPPLIED MATERIAL

If you're a reader, member or a firework company and you have pyro-related material, we'd be interested in using it for our site.

We have created many excellent features from material supplied by third parties. For example, our TLG series of reports were compiled from text reports and photographs supplied by a member - click here for an example. As you can see, we can wave our "magic wand" over material and tranform it into an engaging and colourful feature.

... my stories come to life with the pics I send and the write-ups, juggling them around and coming up with excellent features. - TLG

We can work with both digital and analogue video (VHS, 8mm, Hi-8, Digital 8 or Mini DV) and digital and traditional (35mm prints) photographs. We respect copyright (see section below) and will give credit for the material where due.


Video grab from a member-supplied tape. We've published many features
created entirely from material taken from a single tape!

With pictures and video we prefer to work with the SOURCE material so we can get the best possible results, optmised for the site. We can return all original material sent to us and if used for a feature, cover your postage costs.

Whether it's a back garden display or a major event, if you have any fireworks material you think our readers would enjoy, please contact us.

UKFR PRODUCED DISPLAY FEATURES

We travel to an increasing number of firework events each year with a view to showcasing them here on the UKFR. From £500 wedding displays to massive musical extravaganzas, if there's pyro involved then we're interested!

For more information and to see what we can do, you should have a look at our best portfolio - our actual Features section. If you are then interested in having us along to one of your displays, please contact us.

Our business has benefited from the very professional features you have done with us... It has been a pleasure to work with you as you have always done a sterling job in showcasing our products and our service. - Warren Thomas, Firework Emporium.

Be sure to include the following information when contacting us:

The name of your company, your name, your company address and a daytime contact telephone number.

The date(s) and location of your display or event.

The type of event or display, and why we and our readers would benefit from seeing it showcased here.


Digital stills, digital camcorders, wireless technology
and tradional 35mm film, all in use at this display. We enjoy our
work immensely and it shows!

Please note that we attend the majority of displays and events at no charge to the company being featured providing the resulting material is of benefit to our site and our readers.

PRESS RELEASES

If you are a larger company, or you are involved in the PR for a fireworks company, we welcome press releases about displays. Where the press release describes an event in its entirety and is accompanied by photos, we can sometimes compile these into a feature (at no charge to you). Our readers benefit from useful firework related content and you or your client will benefit from the publicity. For an example of a feature created from press release material and additional material provided by a member, see the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral page.

Press releases should be sent to the e-mail address on our contact us page.

Please be sure to include the following information:

The name of your company, your name, your company address and a daytime contact telephone number.

Permission to use the press release in its entirety, if required, for a feature.

If sending images, details of who to credit the picture and copyright to, and permission from the copyright holder to duplicate the images here for no fee. Please note: We are unable to use images or video without the permission of the copyright holder. Please supply a contact telephone number for the copyright holder.

If sending images to us, please send them in as high a quality as possible - we will resize and optimise them as appropriate for the feature, if we use them.

We always clearly note the source and copyright of any material used.

"A DAY AT" FEATURES

Our "A Day At" features have proved very popular because they allow our readers to see behind the scenes at firework companies and retailers. Giving a positive overview of your company, "A Day At" features can give significant extra publicity here and our readers get to know you a little more.

The name of your company, your name, your company address and a daytime contact telephone number.

TRADE NIGHT / TRADE DEMO FEATURES

Are you a retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer and demsontrating your stock to potential trade customers this year? Would you like the evening and your stock showcased here on UKFR to both end cusotmers AND the fireworks trade?

If so, please contact us. Whether it's a demonstration of consumer or professional fireworks, we can travel anywhere in the UK to film the evening and showcase it here. We have a large - and growing - membership of people within the fireworks trade and many retailers use our reviews and features to help determine their own stock lines.

It also gives a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts - YOUR customers - to see your new stock.


High quality material gathered from a demo night.

Whether we use the material to review the stock or compile a feature this is an excellent opportunity to allow an audience of up to 450,000 visitors a year to see your fireworks.

Our Black Cat trade feature is a good example of what we can do. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by working with us to promote your products.

REVIEWS OF YOUR STOCK

If you are interested in having your stock reviewed, please contact us.

COPYRIGHT INFO AND SMALL PRINT

If you are considering supplying your own material for use on UKFR, we can assure you that we respect copyright. We always note the source of the material, and do not require a transfer of copyright from you to us. In fact as you'll see with our existing features, we are happy to note the actual author as the copyright holder of any pictures, video or editorial supplied.

In a nutshell by supplying material for us to use, you agree that we can use this material in a feature here on site for an unlimited time, for no fee. However, should anyone approach us with an enquiry to use your work for anything, we would refer them directly to you. As the copyright holder, you are free of course to use your material anywhere for any reason independent of any feature that we may create.

Please note that the final feature itself is copyright to ourselves. This gives us no rights over your source material nor any rights to sell on your work, but it does protect us from being used to process or enhance work, or edit video (for example) for use other than on our site. If you require more clarification of these points please contact us.

If you are interested in UKFR producing a feature on your company or display, please be aware that ALL material we create and publish is our own property and we are the copyright holders. If you are wanting your display filmed or photographed for your own commercial use, brochures or websites etc. you would need to employ someone to do this on a commercial basis for you.
